[1] Internet Explorer has a bunch of bugs regarding the implementation of this feature. IE10 crashes in some cases when editing lists (bug 796187). IE11+ uses invalid positioning for caret when an element is floated (bug 858749). In IE9-10 the window freezes when using mousewheel while dragging (bug 809254). IE10-11 does not fire the input
event (bug 794285). IE10 crashes after selecting "Cut" from the context menu (bug 801770). IE11+ does not allow placing the caret in an empty table cell (bug 807199). IE10 does not fire contextmenu
event when right-clicking on misspelled words (bug 774350). IE11 appends <br>
elements to <body>
when showing/hiding an <iframe>
with contenteditable document inside (bug 864804). IE11 does not allow disabling resize handles for images/inputs (bug 907422).
